M Horse Camp, S's 4th birthday, my baby showers and more summer!!!

T's work gave him a suprise "gag" shower- let's just say we got some funny stuff.... For those of you who don't know- my sweet hubs works with mostly women and comes home to all women- God Bless him!!!

His co-worker Shelley made this awesome diaper cake and another of his coworkers wrote a hysterical poem.... it was very sweet of them to do this for us....

M at Horse Camp receiving her certificate... she LOVED horse camp and had a ball!

M with all of the other campers. She had so much fun and even learned to "trot" on her horse "Kemo"...

My sweet M on "Kemo"- on Friday of the camp, they did a cute little Horse Show- she was so proud of herself as were we! All of her cousins came to watch and she was just as proud as a little peacock!

My sweet S turned 4- what a pure delight she is- she just makes us all laugh and smile. She is really a fun kid and I am honored that I get to raise her!

My view.... hysterical but the truth.

All the cousins at the Florida Fish House... yum! We love Family Vacation!

VBS- what a great week...

Sweet Dixie Belle. This is our neighbors dog that we keep for them from time to time. She is a sweet dog and since Mommy is not ready for a dog AND a baby at the same time.... we like to think of Dixie as our part time doggie!

We had a bumper crop this year of cucumbers and tomaotes and squash... one night we made a dinner of all of very own home growned veggies- so fun! We ate more cucumbers this summer than ever- they were so yummy!

The girls and I decided to do a service project too which was fun.... we made 25 lunhes for the little kids at the homeless shelter. The girls loved decorating the bags and filling them up. I think we'll make that an A family tradition...

Soccer camp... this year both girls were able to do soccer camp at our church. In the Fall, both girls will be playing soccer too- so fun! M and her coach... from Scotland!

My little leftie...

Dancing at El Caporal- our little Mexican Restaraunt... they had a ball!

What a great memorial day weekend....

We were supposed to go to St. Simons for Memorial Day weekend but after checking weather.com a million times and saw that they were expecting TONS and I mean TONS of rain, we decided to save the $$$$ and stay at home and vacation here. It turned out to be a great choice because we had a ball. We started out with Bays baseball tournament to cheer him on, then headed down to American Adventures and then our sweet friends... the M's... invited us to to the Lake where we had a ball! It was so relaxing and a huge plus was that we were at home so we didn't have a 6 hour drive ahead of us... ahhhhhh! Enjoy the pics....and this goes without saying but thanks to all of our awesome troops who have died or are fighting for our freedom.... we salute you this awesome Memorial Day!

Daddy and S in the lake....

The whole fam in the lake...brrrrr- it was chilly but so refreshing!

Daddy in his "happy" place....

M and her good buddy S jumping in..... they probably jumped in 1,000,000 times and were sad when it was time to go and they couldn't jump in anymore....

All the kiddo's

Me and my very tired babies after a great day of boating.... thanks M and S!

Daddy trying to teach S to hold her putter correctly at put put.... We just love American Adventures!

M and L at B's baseball game

What a little stud B is.... Look at all those women!

New Haircuts...

So since it's almost Summer , its time for short hair. My kids get so hot and they love having short hair when it's so hot out so we headed over to Pigtails and crewcuts to get it done. M got about 5 inches cut off of hers and S got about 3 inches cut. I just think my little M looks so old- I can't believe that she is 6- time flies! Also- her kindegarten teacher- whom she adores- has hair just like this so she really wanted hers cut like that too. We hope she loves her first grade teacher as much as she loves her kindegarten teachers!!

Summer evenings...

Some this might be one of my favorite pics of all time. We have started going out to Pinetree late afternoon on Saturdays when all the "serious" golfers are finished. We get a golf cart and T plays 9 holes and me and the girls ride around. It is so fun. They discover all kinds of stuff out there- bugs, ducks, sticks, you name it and it is some seriously good family time. I captured this moment as the girls were staring at their hero- their daddy- I just love this one.... T even mentioned that he even has some good form on his swing too- hilarious. This might be a fathers day framed photo in the making.
